Summary A ground-based gravity survey program was completed at Neutral Junction project between December 2016 and April 2017. Gravity readings were conducted at 520 individual stations according to a 1km x 1km rectangular survey grid. The aim of the survey was to provide gravity data coverage of the Adnera Hill area, a highly prospective part of the Neutral Junction project with four exploration targets interpreted to have the potential to host economic precious and base-metal mineralisation. The survey objective was to generate infill gravity data to complement the existing open-file 4km X 4km Bouger gravity dataset. Bowgan Minerals Limited contracted Atlas Geophysics Pty Limited (Perth) to complete the program with co-funding provided as part of Round 9 of NT Government’s CORE initiative. The program commenced during December 2016, but was postponed owing to unseasonal rainfall and flooding in the project area. Survey work recommenced during March 2017 and the program was completed in early April 2017. The gravity survey program was successful according to its aim to generate a higher resolution of gravity coverage for the Adnera Hill area, Neutral Junction project. A new gravity dataset is now available which will provide a clearer definition of a number of gravity features which could not be interpreted from the original 4km X 4km survey density. Early interpretation of the new dataset has identified correlations between the gravity features and a number of magnetic anomalies in association with surface anomalies at four exploration targets at Adnera Hill.

2. Regional Context The Neutral Junction project is located at the boundary of the Arunta Inlier to the south and the Tennant Creek Inlier/Davenport Province to the north. The contact between these tectonic blocks constitutes a wide northwest-southeast trending corridor which includes intensely folded and faulted rock types of both provinces (Lennartz, 2006). The project area is located on major magnetic and gravity breaks as well as major lineament trends. The landscape is largely flat, moderately to heavily vegetated with shallow regolith to deeper transported sandy soils cover occurs across much of the project area. Prominent outcrop exposures of Neoproterozoic-aged Georgina Basin sediments; sandstones and quartzite of the Adelaidean Central Mt Stuart Formation occur within shallow-dipping outcrops along the western side of the tenement area. These units are flat-lying to shallow-dipping and sit unconformably above steeply inclined basement units comprising; deformed/metamorphosed Palaeoproterozoic-aged metasediments of the Arunta Inlier, which exhibit amphibolite-grade metamorphism. Basement units are largely obscured apart from a small number of outcrop exposures mapped to date, which occupy less than 1% of the project area. More frequent exposures of the basement units are mapped towards the northern end of the project area however, with Hatches Creek Group (HCG) units identified in the Barrow Creek-Home of Bullion area at the north tip of the project area. These metasedimentary units are considered to be highly prospective within the broader region and locally, host the historical Home of Bullion mine, as well as a number of other potentially economic prospects including; Prospect D, Strzeleckie and Kroda located further towards the north-west. Proterozoic-aged, radiometrically-anomalous granites have intruded along the regional NNW-SSE structural-fault trend and occur within the Barrow Creek, further south-east of Dinner Camp Well, north and south of Adnera Hill and in the Tomahawk Range area. Previous modelling of the depth of the HCG metasediments by the NT Geological Survey indicates that a major fault forms the western margin of the Georgina Basin. The depth of the basin sediments in the northern part of the project area has been interpreted to increase from less than 100 m to greater than 1 km from west to east over a distance of less than 500 metres. This suggests a major crustal discontinuity, which could provide a pathway for migrating mafic magma. Further south, in the Adnera Hill area this discontinuity is represented by the Ooralingie Fault which runs through EL’s 24253, EL29475 and EL30797 with local oblique faulting offsets being mapped in association with surface anomalies containing anomalous gold, silver, copper/lead/zinc plus other elements. Exploration conducted to date, by Bowgan Minerals Limited has identified four exploration targets at Adnera Hill, with an iron oxide-copper-gold (‘Tennant Creek’-style IOCG) deposit setting postulated. The nearest potentially economic mineral deposit to the Neutral Junction project is located at Home of Bullion (2.5Mt @ 1.8% copper, 2% zinc, 36g/t silver, 1.2% lead and 0.14g/t gold (Kidman Resources ASX release dated 2014), located immediately north-east of the Donkey Creek (EL29802) tenement boundary (Figure 2).

3. Previous Exploration Limited prospecting and small-scale mining has historically been reported in the local area for copper, lead silver, nickel, tin, tantalum, tungsten, molybdenum and mica with the largest mining operation occurred at Home of Bullion mine site where high-grade copper ore was extracted (6,100 tonnes officially recorded) between 1923 and 1951.

Exploration work has been conducted continuously at the Neutral Junction project since 2005. Mithril Resources initially conducted geological mapping and reconnaissance geochemical surveying in the project area during 2005 to explore for nickel associated with mafic intrusions, with extensions of Hatches Creek Group units with 27 magnetic lag fractions which identified a maximum of 67ppm nickel and 24ppm copper. No further work was conducted with a joint-venture being formed with Hindmarsh Resources in 2006. Hindmarsh Resources (now Mega Hindmarsh Pty Limited) conducted ground magnetic and radiometric surveys, geological mapping and sampling in the project area during 2006-09 to explore for uranium within an unconformity deposit setting. Several exploration targets were identified which were not tested by drilling at that point. A joint-venture was subsequently formed with Bowgan Minerals Limited in 2009. Bowgan commenced field exploration in 2010 and have been exploring at the Neutral Junction project for economic occurrences of copper and gold within an iron oxide-copper-gold (‘Tennant Creek-style’ IOCG) deposit setting. Bowgan Minerals Limited have completed to date; 354 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveying, 674 point-readings by hand-held spectrometer, and collected 180 rock chip (outcrop) and 1192 geochemical (soil) samples with the majority of this field work being completed in the Adnera Hill area. Four priority targets have been interpreted at Adnera Hill; Max’s Find (NJR004), TJ’s Find (NJR002) and Breccia Hill, South target and Radiometric target (Figure 4). A summary of anomalous results from work completed to date is presented in Table 2.

4. Exploration Concept Bowgan Minerals Limited is currently exploring for economic occurrences of copper and gold within iron oxide-copper-gold (‘Tennant Creek’-style IOCG) deposit setting at four targets at Adnera Hill, Neutral Junction project. The project area is located within the central northern part of the Arunta Block which has been declared to be a geological province hosting potential for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits by Geoscience Australia (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Location of Adnera Hill, in relation to other historical deposits within the Arunta Block (after Whelan et. al., 2013). Bowgan Minerals Limited adopted an exploration methodology aimed at targeting IOCG deposits, relying heavily on magnetic and radiometric surveying conducted on-ground, with further ground-proofing by detailed geological mapping, outcrop and geochemical (soil) sampling and interpretation. This approach has been successful with the identification of four prospective exploration targets based on work completed to date. Recent research conducted on historical deposits at Jervois, Bonya and Home of Bullion by the NT Geological Survey and other organisations (CSIRO, GA) has highlighted the

apparent overprinting of relict VMS and/or SEDEX deposits by latter mineralisation events of IOCG-affinity to form hybrid-style deposits, which potentially contain a combination of mineralisation of differing age and source-rock association. Exploration field work has also identified potential complexity to the geology at Adnera Hill, with features such as marls (surface expression of skarn), plus the occurrence of anomalous silver, base-metals and barium providing good evidence of a potential VMS and/or SEDEX genesis. After consideration of the complexity in regard to choosing the most suitable exploration method, Bowgan Minerals Limited has elected to continue its focus on an IOCG-deposit model for exploration at Adnera Hill. A total of 354 line-kilometres of ground magnetic surveying have already been completed and as a consequence, Bowgan Minerals Limited have elected to a conduct a program of gravity surveying to complement this existing dataset. Interpretation of targets will follow an IOCG modelling approach, whereby key lineaments are delineated using a combination of surface geology, combined with ground magnetic data at depth. Targets will then be identified from the comparison between magnetic trends and localised gravity anomalies in a manner to that used successfully in many documented cases for IOCG targets in South Australia, as well as locally, at many prospects in the Tennant Creek Inlier. Bowgan Minerals Limited consider this approach to be the most cost effective, when compared to other geophysical methods such as IP or ground/airborne EM surveys and the most efficient exploration method to incorporate existing datasets generated from the work completed at Adnera Hill to date. Other indications that Adnera Hill targets have a strong IOCG-affinity include the fact that associated pathfinder elements such as bismuth have been detected in reportable quantities in up to 45% of rock chip samples that were tested and the widespread association with breccia in association with the most anomalous surface anomalies mapped and sampled to date, across all 4 target areas (Plates 1-4). Analysis of chaotic breccia samples via hand-held Niton XRF has confirmed anomalous results to be exclusively contained within the haematite-dominated matrix component, with no anomalous elements being detected within the clasts. This suggests that mineralisation at Adnera Hill is post-genetic and has an IOCG-related genesis.

5. Details of the Collaborative Program The original design for the gravity survey incorporated a total of 506 stations, according to a 1km X 1km rectangular grid. Following review, a request was submitted to the NT Geological Survey for an amendment to the original design on 19th October 2016. The new survey design was submitted which incorporated existing 4km X 4km survey data with these survey points being re-deployed at the eastern edge of the original survey area with 520 survey stations proposed as part of this amendment (Figure 6, Table 3 Appendix).

Figure 6: Final design for the gravity survey program conducted at Adnera Hill. Atlas Geophysical Pty Limited (Perth) where contracted by Bowgan Minerals Limited to complete the gravity survey program. Atlas employed the following equipment to complete the field program;

• Two Scintrex CG-5 Autograv Gravity Meters (Serial Numbers; 40240 SF 1.000000, 40382, SF 1.000000)

• One Hi-Target V90+ GNSS receiver • One Satlab SL600 GNSS base receiver • One Leica System 1200 GNSS receiver • One Leica System 1200 GNSS base receiver

A new GNSS-Gravity control station; 201611100001 “Adnera Bore” was established and used to control all field observations for this project. A summary document for the Adnera survey program; Atlas Geophysics Memorandum M2016111 is presented as part of this report.

6. Results and Interpretation At the conclusion of the field surveying program, all survey data was processed and the results presented in Atlas Geophysics Memorandum M2016111. A final survey image for the Adnera program is presented in Figure 7.

Figure 7: Final gravity survey image, Adnera survey (Atlas Geophysics, 2017).

The key feature identified by preliminary interpretation of the data is a discrete, linear gravity anomaly that trends roughly north-west/south-east across the target area. This feature corresponds closely to outcrops in the Breccia Hill target which are highly anomalous for copper-lead-zinc and silver (Figure 8). This feature sits along the southern flank of a corridor of strong magnetism and appears to be related (Figure 9). The magnetic anomaly is currently interpreted to be a mafic rock type, or alternatively, a magnetite skarn with further interpretation being required to determine the nature of the gravity anomaly. The survey image shows a continuation of the gravity feature beyond the currently available ground magnetic dataset, with a potential new extension between existing targets at Breccia Hill and Max’s Find being now identified with follow-up exploration proposed. As a result of the survey, a new structural trend has been interpreted which suggests the underlying geology and structure to be continuous along north-west/south-east strike trend across the main target zones, as opposed to the previously interpreted NNW-SSE Ooralingie Fault trend which was previously interpreted. A re-interpretation of exploration model is underway as a consequence. Faulting interpreted along an oblique, north-east/south-west strike trend, which corresponds with dislocations in magnetic anomalies and this may indicate magnetite destruction in association with an orogenic-associated mineralisation event. The gravity image has also provided a better definition of granite intrusive when compared to previous 4km X 4km survey image, which may assist with exploration along these contacts.

7. Conclusion A gravity survey program conducted by Atlas Geophysics Pty Ltd was successful according

to its aim to generate a higher resolution of gravity coverage for the Adnera Hill area, Neutral

Junction project. A new gravity dataset is now available which will provide a clearer definition

of a number of gravity features which could not be interpreted from the original 4km X 4km

survey density.

Early interpretation of the new dataset has identified correlations between the gravity

features and a number of magnetic anomalies in association with surface anomalies at four

exploration targets at Adnera Hill.

Although preliminary by nature, interpretation of the new gravity dataset has identified a

significant new structural/lithological trend in the Adnera Hill area which had not been

previously recognised and has also identified gaps in the existing exploration dataset that

warrant follow-up exploration.

From a regional perspective, the northern half of the Neutral Junction project is located on

the southern tip of the Tennant Creek Inlier and structure/lithology follows a north, north-

west/south, south-east strike trend. The gravity dataset suggests structure/lithology for the

Adnera Hill area to conform to a north-west/south-east strike trend which is oblique to the

trend interpreted further north.

This suggests that the Ooralingie Fault is more closely aligned with the regional structural

trend of the Arunta Block and that the northern and southern parts of the Neutral Junction

project are located within different geological provinces which may have important

implications in regard to prospectivity within the Adnera Hill area.

Gravity survey data has also provided a clearer resolution of granite contacts within the

survey area which may allow for greater accuracy with the regional geological interpretation

in this part of the Barrow Creek-Alcoota Geological Sheets.
